Art Is Useless When You're Being Mauled By a Bear

written by Alisa Tangredi
directed by Che'Rae Adams

a special staged reading
presented by Sacred Fools
as part of International Women's Voices Day

SUNDAY, JANUARY 21, 2018 @ 8pm

FREE TO THE PUBLIC! No reservations required.

FREE READING! A tragicomedy that explores one woman's
fantastical journey through grief and subsequent descent into madness
after losing a loved one. A series of encounters with beings real and
imagined, some straight out of a Grimm's Fairy Tale, serve to move our
heroine further toward the ultimate and unavoidable climax.

Performing on the Broadwater Second Stage
(6320 Santa Monica Blvd.)

The
Women's Voices Theater
Festival in partnership with
National
New Play Network (NNPN) and the New
Play ExchangeⓇ (NPXⓇ) has invited theaters and theatre makers around the
world to join them in advocating for gender parity by presenting unproduced
works by women playwrights on International Women's Voices Day. The event will
take place Sunday, January 21, 2018, coinciding with the anniversary of the
revolutionary 2016 Women's Marches. Reading hosts find a previously unproduced
play by a woman and, with the writer's permission, host a reading of the work
for International Women's Voices Day, on or about January 21.
